I am a 38 year old single mom (won't be able to say that much longer!). I found the love of my life online and although it is a quick engagement, I am beyond sure that this is what God is calling us to. My fiance is 39 and has a son (same age as mine, 8) and a daughter (6). I can't wait to see what God brings out of our union!

Happily married 🎉

So I have seen websites where people can set up to have people gift parts of their wedding for them. They set the prices of different things and someone can look and decide if they want to help with...

Generation Tux
Amanda in Wedding Attire, on January 9, 2019 at 11:16 AM

Has anyone used Generation Tux online? It sounds like it might be similar to Azazie but for the tuxes. If you used them, what was your experience?
